Tony is no longer a sports reporter; he is sui generis. As his radio show comes to a close next week (at least until the end of football season), I will miss him in the mornings, as will, amazingly enough, Mrs. Bartender. I only hope his stint on MNF is a success.

PTI is not going off. In fact, TK is planning to still do PI on game days from whereever he is.

Btw, on August 21, the Saints and Cowboys play a MNF exhibition game in Shreveport, LA. Why do I mention this--it's the home of Mrs. Bartender! I have offered to show TK around, but he did not respond. His loss.

When I was working for a sports league production company, we were looking for celebrities at a game in order to use them for promos. One of the producers saw Peter Berg and asked him to do one. I saw what looked like a petite ugly woman sitting next to him when it hit me: it was Mike D.

I went up to him and asked if he was Mike D from the Beastie Boys and he said yes. I immediately shook his hand and told him how much I loved his work. I then told the producer who it was and we shot a promo with him that I'm positive never made it to air.
